Staring at the strange woman holding a gun, Sam Winchester believes he has lost everything. All he wants is to join Dean in the void. Until Chuck arrives with an offer. (Warnings, if any apply, are given at the top of each chapter!)

AU: "Dean will find me and we'll find the River. We'll find the River and she'll protects us, because the River flows into the sea and the sea melts into the sky and the sky goes on forever, and forever is where the River runs." Years later, Sam finally finds her.

The Winchester boys are free from the Academy at long last, but that doesn't mean they're free of the Alliance - especially when luck-killers like the Tam siblings accidentally cross their paths. That is, if such a meeting of the tortured psychics can ever be coincidence. Firefly-verse. Unabashed cursing, mostly in Chinese. Dialect. We'll see what I feel like doing for pairings.
